Ubiquitin regulates dissociation of DNA repair factors from chromatin
Involvement of the ubiquitin system in DNA repair and DNA damage signaling has been extensively studied during the last decade. Dynamic modification of proteins with ubiquitin after DNA damage has been shown to play important roles in virtually all DNA repair pathways [1]. In this regard, protein ubiquitylation has most frequently been associated with the recruitment of DNA repair factors – man...
متن کاملThe RING finger protein RNF8 ubiquitinates Nbs1 to promote DNA double-strand break repair by homologous recombination.
Ubiquitination plays an important role in the DNA damage response. We identified a novel interaction of the E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF8 with Nbs1, a key regulator of DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair. We found that Nbs1 is ubiquitinated both before and after DNA damage and is a direct ubiquitination substrate of RNF8. We also identified key residues on Nbs1 that are ubiquitinated by RNF8. By us...
متن کاملDNA damage–inducible SUMOylation of HERC2 promotes RNF8 binding via a novel SUMO-binding Zinc finger
Nonproteolytic ubiquitylation of chromatin surrounding deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) double-strand breaks (DSBs) by the RNF8/RNF168/HERC2 ubiquitin ligases facilitates restoration of genome integrity by licensing chromatin to concentrate genome caretaker proteins near the lesions. In parallel, SUMOylation of so-far elusive upstream DSB regulators is also required for execution of this ubiquitin-d...
متن کاملUbcH7 regulates 53BP1 stability and DSB repair.
DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair is not only key to genome stability but is also an important anticancer target. Through an shRNA library-based screening, we identified ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme H7 (UbcH7, also known as Ube2L3), a ubiquitin E2 enzyme, as a critical player in DSB repair. UbcH7 regulates both the steady-state and replicative stress-induced ubiquitination and proteasome-dep...
متن کاملNeddylation Promotes Ubiquitylation and Release of Ku from DNA-Damage Sites
The activities of many DNA-repair proteins are controlled through reversible covalent modification by ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like molecules. Nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) is the predominant DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway in mammalian cells and is initiated by DSB ends being recognized by the Ku70/Ku80 (Ku) heterodimer. By using MLN4924, an anti-cancer drug in clinical trials t...
